Get all the way back to even and then fall apart again at the end down 5.

They only have 3 guys scoring Steph, Jimmy and Moody, they gotta get something from one of Podz, Payton or Buddy combined 1-5 2 points in the half

Hey Siri, seriously never wanna hear another warrior fan player or coach complain about dirty players

The Warriors are owed about 1000 cheap shots to make it even

Steven Adams should get MVP of the series if the Rockets win. he's absolutely killing the Warriors he comes in and the game changes every time.

Jabari Smith is lethal from 3

Has to be said, I know he can make 3's but this game seems too big for Post, 2-6 passing up open looks and then taking bad shots and he's only got 1 rebound in 17 minutes.

I would trust Looney as the 2nd big way more than Post tonight

And Adams finally misses 2 FT's and then they get the board and putback that was a huge play

unreal first play of the quarter Steph guards the wrong man and they give up a 4 point play and are now down 8. It was obvious Steph was supposed to be on VanVleet you could see him nod when Payton was talking to him

that's ballgame and again it all started when Kerr put Post back in he immediately got beaten for a layup and then Warriors just imploded. Horrible shots by Steph

The Rockets have so much talent, it's hard to see them having interest in Durant.

With so many of our lotto picks coming, they should really be patient like OKC was. They could build a juggernaut the same way if they don’t get antsy.

If they win the series I guess you have to give the MVP to Fred but you can sure make an argument for Adams, playing him and Sengun together has changed the entire series.

We’re ending an interesting era. The two biggest stars are undoubtedly LeBron and Curry. But both could have pretty big all time dings against them. LeBron had to super team to win titles and Curry may end up the first NBA legend to lose two 3-1 playoff series leads.

It's hard to see them getting antsy, not being that far away.

Durant's contract is so large, and he wants an extension, it may be hard finding a good trade for him.

I think you gotta give it to their coach if they win it. Making that adjustment was huge and getting a young, totally inexperienced squad to come back from a 3-1 lead against some of the best, most hardened playoff stars ever is pretty impressive.

It's not stunning they won it's stunning HOW they won, completely boat racing the 4th quarter against the experienced team

Yeah… and if Giannis comes on the market, he trumps KD as far as the guy to go get.

I comfort myself knowing Durant can minimally be an expiring contract, but then, it's hard to know what the Suns may do.
